well ... + means check x means takes or capture B= Bishop N=knight K=King R=Rook pawns as u know is represented by the move it makes ie e4 or e2 - e4
this ( - ) means to or go from one place to another # means checkmate +- means white has a large advantage ( -+ ) means the same thing but for black( +_ ) means white with small advantage usualy positional and visa versa for black let me know if u want anymore explanation, or better still look it up in a book or in the rules on this site ok...
k=king q=queen r=rook n=knight (because king is k) b=bishop pawn has no number coz there useless
x means u take an opponents piece u write it with piece's letter (that u took with) first followed by x and the cords that the piece took on. Pawns are written that instead of the pieces letter it is the file that they start on letter
+ is when an opponents piece checks your king and # is checkmate they are both put at the end of the cords
short castles is O-O and long castles is O-O-O because in short the rook moves twice (for the 2 O's) and the rook moves 3 times for the 3 O's.
sorry if i miss anything but i think i got eerything
I know how to play chess and everything, and I can play well and all, but I don't know the cooridinates or grid language or what ever people keep using to explain moves. Of coarse Nd4 means Knight to "d4" on the board, right? But then i see like an "x" or a "+". what do those mean? Also, i see Nd4 f5 or something like that. Could someone please explain this to me?
